Magnetic mines can similarly be fooled by towed devices containing coils tuned to mimic the magnetic signatures of potential targets.

磁性地雷同样可以被包含线圈的拖曳装置所迷惑，这些线圈经过调谐以模仿潜在目标的磁性特征。

U.S. officials accused Iran at the time of targeting the ships with magnetic mines. The explosions from the mines were designed to disable ships, not to sink them.

美国官员当时指责伊朗用磁性水雷瞄准这些船只。水雷引爆的目的是让船只瘫痪，而不是将其击沉。

Like magnetic mines, the acoustic variety can be given precise instructions about what and what not to attack, for even small differences between vessels can result in sufficiently distinct signatures for a mine to tell them apart.

就像磁性水雷一样，可以对声波水雷给出精确的指示，告诉他们什么该攻击什么不该攻击什么，因为即使船只之间的微小差异也会导致水雷产生足够明显的特征来区分它们。
